I did something fun with "Zebra Zydeco" (from Music K-8, Vol. 13, No. 5) in my kindergarten classes (I think I will also do it in my firsts this week.). We did some of the movements that were described in the song, and then on the instrumental interludes, I had the kids playing F and C Boomwhackers®. I used the rhythm ta ta ti ti ta, like this:

F F FF F
C C FF F
